Yes this has been our reality around here for years now. This is how dumb the law is: If you sit inside the hull its legal to have a 2 stroke. If you sit or stand on top of the hull its illegal.

I can take any motor out of ski's and strap it to a piece of plywood and it would be legal (assuming it was registered). I run a 1200 in my blaster (illegal). I can run twin 1200s in a yamaha boat (perfectly legal).

Twin twelves on a 4 x 8 sheet of pressure treated, no water box, above water level exit!!!! Fuk them, see how they like that. Mount it on some 55 gallon plastic drums and rock out.

Hope all is well!

HAHA That's too funny!! What job? I'm just getting back on the water this year after a couple seasons off. I got married and also had a kid since the last time we talked. I still have the same number so hit me up sometime!

Starbucks at Charleston/Decatur. Saw your guys there today and showed them where to put the address numbers.
